About the Event

The Bacon Strip race is back for another year! Take your pick between the Bacon Strip (10 miles) or Bacon Bits (4 miles).

Once again, this race is part of the FCRC/Horesetooth Half Marathon/RU training program. The races are free for FCRC members. There is a suggested donation of $20 to help offset the cost of putting on the event(port-a-pottys, gifts, BACON!). 

The cost for non-members is $30. However, the annual cost of FCRC membership is $30. Membership includes many benefits, from race discounts ($20 off Horsetooth Half, $5 off FireKracker 5K, $5 off Resolution Run, as well as dozens of other races), discounts at local running stores, social events and more.

NEW THIS YEAR: Sunny Stacks Pancake Truck will be on site if you want to celebrate your performance with post-race carbs!

PLEASE CONSIDER CARPOOLING TO THE RACE. If you've raced or run the course in the past, you know it's just an intersection where we start and finish. There is no parking lot. We want to keep residents happy, so please consider carpooling.

THERE IS NO DAY OF REGISTRATION. Registration closes on Friday, February 20th.

This is an unsupported race. There will be water on the course, but you will need to fill your own water vessel.

Hope to see you out there!
